DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0027] The utility model provides Figure 1-Figure 6 The drying device for morels shown includes a first shell 1, a second shell 2 is fixedly mounted on one side of the first shell 1, a cover plate 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the second shell 2 and the first shell 1, and a feed hopper 61 is fixedly mounted on the cover plate 6.
[0028] A conveying component is installed at the upper end of the interior of the second shell 2, and the conveying component is used to flatten and convey the morels entering the second shell 2 to the interior of the first shell 1. The conveying component includes a conveying box body 21, and a feed hopper 61 is located above the conveying box body 21. Four rotating plates 22 are rotatably installed at the upper end of the second shell 2 corresponding to the conveying box body 21. The four rotating plates 22 are evenly distributed on both sides of the conveying box body 21. A first motor 23 is installed on one side of the outer surface of the second shell 2 through a bracket, and a driving end of the first motor 23 is fixedly installed on the middle part of one of the rotating plates 22. A connecting rod 25 is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating plate 22 close to the conveying box body 21, and the connecting rod 25 is rotatably installed on the bottom end of the side surface of the conveying box body 21.
[0029] During actual use, workers add wet morels to the inside of the feed hopper 61, and the morels will fall on the surface of the conveying box 21. The first motor 23 drives the rotating plate 22 to rotate, and the rotating plate 22 drives the connecting rod 25 to rotate, and then the connecting rod 25 drives the conveying box 21 to perform a circular motion, and then the morels on the conveying box 21 are flattened by vibration. At the same time, the circular motion generated by the conveying box 21 can also throw the morels thereon in the horizontal direction, thereby realizing horizontal transportation.
[0030] A central column 3 is provided in the middle position inside the first shell 1, and a spiral blade 31 is fixedly installed on the outer circle of the central column 3. One end of the conveying box 21 is located above the spiral blade 31, and the spiral blade 31 is slidably clamped inside the first shell 1. A first drying component 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the first shell 1, a second drying component 5 is fixedly installed in the middle of the second shell 2, a first bottom plate 26 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the second shell 2, and a storage drawer 24 is detachably installed on one side of the second shell 2. The lower end of the spiral blade 31 is located above the storage drawer 24, the storage drawer 24 is located below the second drying component 5, and the conveying component is located above the second drying component 5.
[0031] When the device is powered on, the second drying component 5 blows out hot air, and the hot air flows through the conveying box 21, thereby quickly evaporating the residual moisture on the surface of the wet morels carried on the conveying box 21. At this time, the temperature of the hot air blown out by the second drying component 5 is about 35 degrees Celsius. The conveying box 21 flattens the wet morels and conveys them to the upper end of the spiral blade 31. The first drying component 4 blows out hot air to thoroughly dry the morels on the spiral blade 31. The temperature of the hot air blown out by the first drying component 4 is about 40-55 degrees Celsius. The thoroughly dried morels will fall into the storage drawer 24 for storage. Workers only need to add morels to the inside of the device and wait for the storage drawer 24 to be full before taking it out, thereby realizing the automation of the morel drying machine. There is no need for workers to perform tedious plate arrangement and material unloading, thereby realizing the automation upgrade of the morel drying production line, improving drying efficiency, reducing labor costs, and increasing output and efficiency.
[0032] The first drying component 4 includes a first mounting frame 41, a second bottom plate 42 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the first mounting frame 41, a first bracket 44 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the first mounting frame 41, a first fan 43 is mounted on the lower surface of the first bracket 44, and a first heating wire 45 is fixedly mounted on the first bracket 44. In actual use, the first fan 43 will drive the air flow, and the first heating wire 45 will be heated, thereby realizing the output of hot air.
[0033] A protective cylinder 46 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the first bracket 44, and a second motor 47 is fixedly installed inside the protective cylinder 46. A lower connecting plate 48 is fixedly installed at the driving end of the second motor 47, and a plurality of evenly distributed spherical bumps 49 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the lower connecting plate 48. An upper connecting plate 50 is provided above the lower connecting plate 48, and a plurality of grooves corresponding to the spherical bumps 49 are opened on the lower surface of the upper connecting plate 50. The upper connecting plate 50 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the center column 3.
[0034] In actual use, the second motor 47 will drive the lower connecting plate 48 and the spherical protrusion 49 to rotate, and then the spherical protrusion 49 will cooperate with the upper connecting plate 50. When the lower connecting plate 48 and the spherical protrusion 49 rotate, the upper connecting plate 50 will be lifted, and then the center column 3 and the spiral blade 31 will be lifted. Under the action of gravity, the upper connecting plate 50 will generate downward kinetic energy, thereby realizing the vibration of the center column 3 and the spiral blade 31, and the spiral blade 31 is spiral, so that the morels at the upper end of the spiral blade 31 slide to the bottom end of the spiral blade 31. It should be noted that when the center column 3 and the spiral blade 31 fall, the second motor 47 is not used for support. The center column 3 will be supported by the protective cylinder 46 to prevent the second motor 47 from being damaged by impact. The overall length of the spiral blade 31 is relatively long, which can accommodate more morels, and can increase the time for the morels to pass through the spiral blade 31, so that the morels can be fully dried.
[0035] The second drying component 5 includes a second mounting frame 51, a second bracket 52 is fixedly installed at the inner bottom end of the second mounting frame 51, a second fan 53 is installed on the upper surface of the second bracket 52, and a second heating wire 54 is fixedly installed at the top of the second mounting frame 51. When in use, the second fan 53 drives the air flow, and the second heating wire 54 is heated to achieve the output of hot air. The first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are both independent shells, and each has an independent chamber inside, so as to achieve drying in different temperatures and different modes.
[0036] The spiral blade 31, the conveying box body 21, the cover plate 6, the storage drawer 24, the first bottom plate 26, and the second bottom plate 42 are all provided with ventilation holes, which facilitate the directional airflow through the device. It should be noted that the first bottom plate 26 and the first mounting frame 41 have moisture absorption capabilities and can be filled with existing dry materials, which will not be elaborated here.
[0037] A plurality of evenly distributed support feet 7 are fixedly mounted on the lower ends of the outer surfaces of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. The support feet 7 are used to support the weight of the entire device and can raise the entire device to prevent the air vents from being blocked and keep it away from the ground to reduce moisture intrusion.
[0038] Working principle: workers add wet morels to the inside of the feed hopper 61, and the morels will fall on the surface of the conveying box 21. The first motor 23 drives the rotating plate 22 to rotate, and the rotating plate 22 drives the connecting rod 25 to rotate, and then the connecting rod 25 drives the conveying box 21 to perform a circular motion, and then the morels on the conveying box 21 are flattened by vibration. At the same time, the circular motion generated by the conveying box 21 can also throw the morels thereon in the horizontal direction, thereby realizing horizontal transportation.
[0039] When the device is powered on, the second drying component 5 starts to blow out hot air, and the hot air will flow through the conveying box body 21, thereby quickly evaporating the residual moisture on the surface of the wet morels carried on the conveying box body 21. At this time, the temperature of the hot air blown out by the second drying component 5 is about 35 degrees Celsius, and the conveying box body 21 flattens the wet morels and conveys them to the upper end of the spiral blade 31. The second motor 47 will drive the lower connecting plate 48 and the spherical protrusion 49 to rotate, and then the spherical protrusion 49 cooperates with the upper connecting plate 50. When the lower connecting plate 48 and the spherical protrusion 49 rotate, the upper connecting plate 50 will be lifted up, and then the center column 3 and the spiral blade 31 will be lifted up. Under the action of , the upper connecting plate 50 will generate downward kinetic energy, thereby realizing the vibration of the central column 3 and the spiral blade 31, and the spiral blade 31 is spiral, so that the morels on the upper end of the spiral blade 31 slide to the bottom end of the spiral blade 31, and the first drying component 4 blows out hot air to thoroughly dry the morels on the spiral blade 31. The temperature of the hot air blown out by the first drying component 4 is about 40-55 degrees Celsius. The thoroughly dried morels will fall into the storage drawer 24 for storage. The workers only need to add morels to the inside of the device, wait for the storage drawer 24 to be full and take it out, so as to realize the automatic drying of the morels.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein by equivalents.
